Nottingham Forest’s Dimitar Evtimov has been voted the LFE Apprentice of the Month for October.

The Bulgarian Under 19 international, who had frequented The Reds’ bench this season before picking up a knee injury, was nominated by Academy staff in recognition of the way he has balanced his development with his education.

The keeper has also demonstrated a willingness to engage with the local community after representing the club at last month’s Nottingham City Schools football tournament.

Academy director, Nick Marshall said: “I am delighted for Dimi as he has been exceptional in every single aspect from the moment he joined us - in his football, his education and the way he lives his life.”

Evtimov, who is expected to return to full training within a fortnight, will be presented with his award at half time in the nPower Championship game against Hull City on December 1.
